Chickering concert grand serial numbers

[Robin Hufford]

Jay,
     This Chickering concert grand is probably a model 141 or 141A with the
latter being more likely and was built in 1924 or 25.  You can find the
designation cast in the plate at the tail of the piano.  This is the American
Piano Co period of Chickering's development.
Regards, Robin Hufford
